Popular actress Raasi has reacted strongly to actress and television anchor Anasuya Bharadwaj amid the controversy sparked by actor Shivaji’s comments at the Dhandoraa pre-release event. Raasi’s response came after Anasuya and several others criticised Shivaji for his remarks on the way heroines dress. While Raasi clarified that Shivaji’s observations were not entirely incorrect, she felt the manner in which they were expressed was inappropriate.

Sharing a personal experience that deeply affected her, Raasi recalled an incident from a comedy show anchored by Anasuya. During a skit, comedian Hyper Aadi made a remark referring to “Raasi Gari Phalalu.” Raasi stated that Anasuya’s on-stage reaction—questioning the phrase in a suggestive tone—was equally disturbing. She questioned how one woman could speak about another woman in such a manner on a public platform.

Raasi further revealed that she was once invited to participate in a comedy show planning a skit based on her popular film Preyasi Raave. She declined the offer, explaining that she was uncomfortable with content that involved mockery or humiliation. According to Raasi, Anasuya was also part of that episode, which added to her disappointment.

Strongly condemning body-shaming and insensitive language, Raasi emphasised that no individual has the right to demean another person under the guise of entertainment. She also revealed that she had seriously considered taking legal action over the issue but ultimately chose not to pursue it after her mother advised her to let it go.
